The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.
Denying genocide is sort of shitty though.
The Holocaust happened. The Armenian Genocide happened. Manifest Destiny happened.
The Ughyr detention centers, whatever you think of them, do not constitute a genocide. The Ukrainian Famine was a tragic loss of life, and perhaps the Bolsheviks could have done more to prevent it, but it was not an attempted extermination of the Ukrainian people. And don't even get me started on Rwanda.
And Liberals routinely deny genocide in Palestine and Kashmir because it is politically expedient.
A blanket reproachment of "Genocide Denial" ignores the fact that sometimes, a genocide is claimed where one does not exist. I'm sure you accept that "White Genocide", especially wrt South Africa, is a conspiracy theory with no legitimacy. Why do you not give the same benefit of the doubt to China, or the USSR?
You have to use facts to backup evidence for genocide, not media propaganda or religious nutjobs who claim "God sent me with the mission to destroy China".
Sure, and then continuing to deny it is kind of shitty.
It is, but only when genocide is proved and not made up out of thin air to manufacture consent or justify aggression with foreign policy.
